Once A Gambler

Despite her family's warnings, all that romance stuff didn't warp her (too much). What's more rewarding than reading about the crazy twists and turns to happily-ever-after and, even better, reading steamy-hot love scenes? Nothing-those are the good things in life. Add to that a lifelong wish to write and a nudge from her husband to pursue her dreams, and Tawny took the leap. The result? Three Golden Heart nominations and a Harlequin Blaze contest win that led to her coveted first sale to the Blaze line.

Tawny's usually found dreaming up stories in her northern California home, surrounded by dogs, cats and kids. When she's not writing hot, spicy stories, she's testing her latest margarita recipe, shopping for the perfect pair of boots or drooling over pictures of Johnny Depp (when her husband isn't looking, of course). Her alter ego, Mom, also spends a lot of time scrap booking and playing in the garden. Please visit her website above as she'd love to hear from readers.","bio_short":"","image":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0109783/x145.jpg","on_tour":false,"featured":false,"deceased":false,"sensitivity":"0","locale":"","custom":{"algoliaKey":"01ce8797689949c7e2f4a64f2883d7da-0","export_hash":"4f12c9d69d816c29eee67383cfda742c0e74f42f2c2d864fce2d9318e4409c3d"},"events":null,"awards":null,"assets":[{"id":"214590-101396","asset_id":"101396","asset":{"id":"214590","unique":"x500-carrie-hudson-Contributors","name":"carrie-hudson-author-photo","description":null,"type":"image","sub_type":"author-photo","order":"1","size":"500","height":null,"width":"500","embed":null,"path":"https://i.harperapps.com/hcanz/authors/0109783/x145.jpg","source":"new-image-import","schedule":"2025-04-10 00:00:00"}}],"books":[{"description":"
A riverboat card man, Jake Gannon is about as no–good as they come despite that good–looking hotness that can make a gal's skirts twirl in most unladylike ways. Suspected to be travelling under an assumed name, Jake has a mighty troublesome past, and was last seen in the company of one fiery filly who goes by the name of Ellie Winslow....

But Ellie ain't no ordinary looker. No sir, she landed here in 1876 by accident and is looking for her sister...and some answers. But first she needs to find a way off this here steamer with a man who fascinates her more every minute a man who's about to teach her just how wild the West can be!","rating":"0.00","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":7243,"isbn13":"9781460821947","title":"Once A Gambler","seo":"once-a-gambler","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460821947.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]}],"scheduled":[],"products":[]}
